Without seeing the final annual number and other extensions being finalized, Steph’s new contract puts him somewhere around 12-13th highest paid player next season

Love to see the Rockets leaning into Reed Sheppard as a three point shooter.
As a reminder, at 21 years old Reed Sheppard made 227 threes on 39.4%…
Before last year, Lamelo Ball was the only 21 or younger player in NBA history to make 220 threes in a season.
Ime Udoka says Reed Sheppard is likely to play a bit more off-ball this season, since he’ll often share the floor with Marcus Smart. Will allow the Rockets to lean into his skills as a catch-and-shoot and relocation shooter

Lonzo Ball should join the list of all-time NBA "what-ifs."
Only six players in NBA history match or exceed all of his career marks for assist percentage, rebound percentage and steal percentage.
And he had positive net rating swings in every season he played till 2025-26.
Lonzo Ball confirms he’s officially done with basketball while reflecting on his NBA career and everything he went through with injuries 🏀💔
“I don’t think I ever got to my peak, and damn, that sh*t sucks, but at the same time there’s people that don’t have meals at night to eat. That’s how I look at the world.”

Totals for both seasons, per @bball_ref
Luka Dončić was the Lakers’ leading scorer last season. He became just the second teammate in LeBron James’ career to outscore him during the regular season while playing alongside him. Dončić joined Anthony Davis, who led the Lakers in scoring during the 2023–24 season.

Jalen Williams is due for a healthy bounce-back season for the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2026-2027!
I think JDub will get back to over 20 PPG, and I'll be keeping track of his numbers this season and tons of other great stats with Sports Reference's new "Sports Reference Hub"

love the way I follow the league, but I've always respected and kinda envied fans who only follow one team. atp that's out of the question for me w the NBA, but maybe I could do it in another sport. I've started by adding the Pats to my Sports Reference Hub

According to the Sports Reference Hub, the top two players in NBA history (by win shares) with September 19 birthdays are both active.
Trae Young is 3rd all time in assists per game (behind only Magic Johnson and John Stockton).
CJ McCollum is 6th all time in total 20 PTS/gm seasons at his height (6'3") or shorter.

one thing i've enjoyed about the sports-reference family of sites is that search has updated and improved; it can search across different databases and even account for misspellings, something that was an issue before. this isn't new but i do appreciate it more now using the hub
I've been partnered with Sports Reference for a bit, and they have a new tool. I've played around with the Sports Reference Hub after this week's games, and it's neat — it's a cross-league homepage for your favorite teams and leagues

Top 20 in each category, per @Stathead
Hooks / Jumpers / Layups
The @NBA began tracking shot-type data during the 1996–97 season. Nikola Jokić is currently the only player ranked in the top 30 in career field-goal percentage (including playoffs) for jump shots, hook shots, and layups, with a minimum of 1,000 attempts in each category.
Jokić ranks first in hook shots, first in jump shots, and fifth in layups.

Out of the qualified Mavericks last year, no one averaged over a block a game! What will this list look like this year??

Who's ready for Thunder basketball to return?
With preseason around the corner, I have been keeping up with stats, like if Cason Wallace can lead the NBA in total steals again for two straight seasons, with Sports Reference's new "Sports Reference Hub"

The Connecticut Sun only has 4 more games until they move to Houston and become the Comets.
At 10-30 with a record of 21-63 over the last two seasons, they still hold the best odds to get the first pick in the draft this upcoming season.
